ABSTRACT:
The preferred embodiments described herein provide a medical diagnostic imaging system and method for efficient access of data. In one preferred embodiment, a medical diagnostic imaging system is provided comprising a software application, a text file, and a software component that binds to the software application at runtime. The text file and the software component store common data. If the medical diagnostic imaging system is being used in a first mode of operation (e.g., during the manufacturing process at the factory), data is read from the text file. If the medical diagnostic imaging system is being used in a second mode of operation (e.g., during normal workflow of the ultrasound system in the field), data is read from the software component. These preferred embodiments can be used to provide fast access to stored data during the manufacturing process without incurring performance penalties. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.
